<div class="bbWrapper">Sounds very nice.

<div class="bbWrapper">A Lottery win is the only option I see to get my backside into one, unless crime does pay?? Maybe Plodd could answer that one?? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A second hand one in 2015 after the depreciation has hit, after being let out of Wormwood Scrubs with 26 A Levels in woodwork.</div>

It has no road presence: had one stuck behind me on the A1 the other day whilst driving a Polo and overtaking a lorry with the BMW driver all road-raged up 3 inches off my bumper. But if it was a new S-class or Aston DB9 I'd be cra**ing myself and would get out of the way asap!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">beautiful looking car but for some strange reason the headlights seem to resemble a similarity to those of the ford focus.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">i never said my car was more stylish than the new S. I dont think it is; i like the new S class, however i do believe that its more of a modern look than the current (W220) s class. <br /> <br /> The styling of the 7 (as with all new style BMWs) is down to personal taste - some like, some hate.<br /> <br /> the interior of the 7 is miles ahead of the current S class however, in looks, quality, and technology which was one of the main reasons why i chose the 7 over the W220 S.<br /> <br /> Also remember BMW &quot;toned down&quot; the styling of the 7 in 2006... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Dear Silver Saloon,<br /> <br /> I must offer you my humble apologies: there is one thing that you won't have when buying a BMW. And that's that creepy feeling at night when you wonder if your 18 month old merc is going have an attack of the tin worm <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> .</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Nice looking car....... <br /> ddentric i think your remarks about a fellow members car ( in such detail ) is disrespectful.<br /> Maybe your incident with driver &quot;inches from your bumper &quot; has clouded your judgement on these vehicles. Both cars are excellent motors.</div>
